Burlesque Art Exhibition

Bountiful Burlesque!

Feathered fancies and titillating tulle; colourful art of the Wellington burlesque scene.  An exhibition  Deluxe Cafe, Kent Tce 4th-17th June

I'm a long time participant in Dr Sketchy Anti Art School drawing sessions. This is a collection of my portraits and drawings from life in the performance spotlight. The exhibition will be complemented by a selection of exquisite nipple pasties by the wonderfully talented stage and film costumer Cathy Tree Harris. Shake your tassels and enjoy the show! 

But to do it, I desperately need $300 for the foam board mounting of 12 x A3 chalk pastel works and purchase of 6 display boxes for the adornments. 

About me: I write, I draw, I make Wearable Art. As an illustrator by trade, life drawing is an important practice and it is completely brought to life at Dr Sketchy (Mighty Mighty Bar) with the performances of our gorgeous entertainers. The sequins, the tassels, the feathers! I love them - it's like being in Paris in the 1920's! My drawings, like the burlesque artists shouldn't be hidden away - they need to be seen. The Deluxe - my all time favourite cafe is the perfect place for them to be.

There are some great rewards if you are willing to pledge!
